I just want to say they have an amazing server named Marcella. The ambiance at the restaurant was peaceful and nice. We came in wanting to try the labneh and the server also recommended the moussaka. The moussaka was the BEST thing we had there and is a must try. The chicken shawarma was solid and came with a garlic dip. If you like cheese, I’d recommend the grilled halloumi with fig jam and the knafeh which is basically a sweet mozzarella cake. We ordered a mint lemonade that was really refresh

Stepping into this old-school beer house in New York feels like walking straight into history. The sawdust-covered floors, the worn wood, and the constant hum of conversation give it an atmosphere that’s both gritty and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard—because it doesn’t have to. The beer selection keeps things simple: a light and dark option, done right. No endless menu, no overthinking—just solid, satisfying pours that fit the vibe perfectly. And with how busy it ge

Our friends brought my husband and I here when we were in NYC together because it's one of their favorite spots. My husband and I shared: - Ukrainian Borscht - Choice of 8 pierogi: potato, braised beef short rib, cheese, sauerkraut & mushroom, bacon egg & cheese, arugula & goat cheese, chicken & vegetable - Holubtsi (stuffed cabbage) with mushroom gravy I loved everything. I love that they let you get 8 different pierogis in one order. I wish they let you add the special in too, but that's alr

This is definitely one of the most unique coffee shops I have been to in NYC. It has such a cozy warm atmosphere in the living room like area. For working on your laptop or reading & a bar like feel at the bar w/o the alcohol but an interesting tea / drink menu. The staff is so friendly, but what I took out most from this place is the Cheers vibes where everyone knew each other & welcomed newbies like me with open arms. The unique eclectic decor I could go on & on about but I will let the photos

Sad to see fall be gone, wish fall weather could just stay forever. Venieros is a really great place for some Italian desserts. It is authentic and the pastries taste delicious! The pastries have a rich and authentic taste to it. It’s also not too expensive. They go by the pound, and you can try a variety of different pastries. The fruit tart, eclair, and cannoli came out to be $2 each, while the cheese cake was $6. The cheese cake and pastries tasted really good. Overall, the pastries were real

Majorly Disappointed after a Promising Start I really wanted to love Momo Fuku’s, and to be fair, the night started off on a high note. I thoroughly enjoyed the happy hour—they make a great Lychee Cosmo, and that subtle hint of cayenne is an absolute vibe. My absolute favorite item of the night was the Fried Fingerling potatoes! They were perfectly crispy, crunchy, and a genuinely nice change from your typical boring potato. But now for the tea... and by tea, I mean the noooooddddlllleeeesss:

Ramen By Ra offers a very different ramen experience with a small, reservation-based setup that feels more like a private dining experience than a traditional ramen shop. The intimate space has only a handful of seats, creating a quiet and personal atmosphere where the preparation of each bowl becomes part of the experience. The counter seating allows you to watch the ramen being made up close, adding to the connection between the kitchen and the guest. The menu takes a creative approach by com

The pizza was warm and crusty, just as it should. Price is a bit higher than those 1,5$ slices, but overall, these pizzas are worth every penny! Atmosphere was clean and staff were polite. I’d definitely visit this place again. Go try yourself!

Had a great experience at Au Za’atar in East Village—the food and overall vibe were just amazing. We started with the hummus with sautéed mushrooms and pine nuts, and it was honestly one of the best hummus dishes I’ve had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Also tried the sumac fries, which were super addictive—perfectly crispy and lightly tangy from the sumac, with a nice fresh touch from the parsley. The shish tawook was cooked just right—juicy, well-marinated with lemon and herbs, and

The Halal Guys is one of the most iconic food stories in New York City, and that legacy is real and earned. What started as a humble cart at 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue in the early 1990s built a following so devoted that it eventually grew into a national franchise -- and the food that made them famous is still recognizable in every bowl and platter they serve. The signature white sauce remains the star: creamy, tangy, and completely their own. The chicken and beef gyro platters over seasoned

Today I had the Coquito Iced Coffee, and it was delicious! I always enjoy visiting 787 Coffee because the flavor of the coffee reminds me of my homeland. The coffee is always fresh, the baristas are always kind, and the atmosphere is amazing. Every 787 location is unique in its own way, and this one had a swing! how cute!!! It was such a fun and unexpected touch. If you’re looking for a chance to let your inner child out for a moment while enjoying some authentic Puerto Rican coffee, this is de

This place was amazing! Food was super delicious. We ordered the Platano Relleno, Arepitas del Caribe, Empanadas & Churrasquinhos. All plates were absolutely delicious! Will definitely come back on my next visit to NY. Our server Jose was very kind, polite, knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

Some of the most authentic Georgian cuisine we've had outside of the country itself. If you're not familiar with Georgian food, this is an excellent place to start , and if you are, it holds up. The sausage dish is a standout, perfectly spiced and unlike anything you're likely to have tasted unless you've spent time in Georgia. The kinkali are not to be missed either. Plan on at least one order of beef kinkali per person. Probably two. Georgian wine is a must here. They offer a solid selection i

Spot Dessert Bar has been on my list for a while and is a relatively small space down a staircase, don’t miss it! We went in a Saturday afternoon so it was pretty crowded, but were able to be seated immediately! The menu is focused on a few key dessert items, and there are many different combinations you can make. We got the matcha lava cake to share between 2 people, which I’d recommend since it can get heavy. The lava cake itself was so decadent, the dark chocolate was super rich and it was so

If you’re a New Yorker or visiting New York City for the first time, Artichoke Basille’s Pizza is a must-visit. This place is not just about pizza, it’s a New York food experience. 🍕 Food (5/5) The food absolutely deserves five stars. The Artichoke slice is legendary for a reason. It is rich, creamy, bold, and unlike anything you’ll find at a typical pizza spot. The portion size alone sets it apart. One slice is massive and easily more filling than two standard NYC slices. The Margherita slic

Visited 787 Coffee recently and had an average experience overall. The coffee itself was decent, but honestly felt very expensive for what you get. It’s more of a quick grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit and relax comfortably. One downside is that there’s no restroom available, which can be inconvenient, especially if you plan to stay for a bit. Seating is also quite limited. The outdoor setup is nice on a sunny day, but overall it didn’t feel like great value for the price. Not a ba

I had the Eggs Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a halloumi dish, which was also very good. The mimosa was excellent as well, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and overall experience. The only issue was that although we had a reservation for three people, we were seated at a table for two because our third guest had not arrived yet. I don’t think that was the right approach and it felt a bit disappointing. Other than that, everything was great.

Wow. Dining at Al-Andalus was an incredible experience. As someone who loves meat, this vegan meal was genuinely one of the best I’ve had in a long time. All 6 dishes we got were perfect, but some standouts were the patatas bravas, mushroom shawarma, and Dubai chocolate tart. Both were so flavorful and truly had me at a loss for words. The atmosphere is so cozy and simply beautiful and the prices were great. The service was top-tier—Adam and Sonia are the best! They were so attentive and friendl

Truly a hidden gem! One of the best hookahs I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the Love 66 flavor, and it was made perfectly. It lasted a long time and tasted amazing. As someone who really enjoys hookah and knows it can be hard to find a spot that makes it well, this place is it. If they do not have a particular flavor, feel free to tell the hostess or owner and they will make sure to try to have it for next time you come. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff, especially the own

Incredible place to go! The performers and wait staff are amazing. The food and drinks were delicious, they even had alcohol-free versions of some of the drinks. The show was fun and perfect for Easter! My daughter even found a hidden egg! It wasn't cheap, but the sheer joy i felt from being there is more than worth any price. If you just go for drinks a reservation isn't necessary. If you plan to have dinner, and reservation is recommended.

Had an incredible dinner at Sichuan Mountain House! We started with the cold noodles, which were the perfect refreshing kick-off to the meal. The highlights were definitely the Mala Prawns (loved the fun gloves they provided to keep things clean!) and the Mapo Tofu, which had the perfect balance of spice and numbness. We also ordered the eggplant and green beans, which were cooked to perfection. A huge shoutout to our server, Emma. She was amazing. super friendly and gave us some fantastic recom

I always drive by this place and never went in. I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich and came across this establishment. When you get inside, there is a self service kiosk, place your order and get a number and wait for your food. Everything looks good and I got the chicken sandwich and fries. So good and would def go again!

One of my favorite pizza spots in NYC. The slices are huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. We tried several different varieties and every one was delicious. There’s plenty of seating inside, and they also have outdoor seating. With the beautiful NYC weather lately, sitting outside with a hot slice and people-watching in the East Village is hard to beat. Friendly staff, quick service, and great pizza. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood. 🍕☀️

Stopped by Pasta Sole on 1st Avenue for an episode of Jaguar’s Guide TV after seeing Jack’s Dining Room try it, so I had to see if it was actually worth it. This is more of a quick casual pasta spot than a full sit-down restaurant. You order through a kiosk, pay by card, and pick up your food. The process was simple, smooth, and the food came out pretty fast. I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo with Creamy Chicken. The pasta by itself was decent, but the creamy chicken definitely helped bring the d

Service is slow especially since a lot of dim sum stuff should be pretty fast to make. Restaurant wasn't even full. Taro sago was bland and barely had sago in it. Green beans themselves seemed to not be well seasoned— just slapped some garlic and soy sauce on top at the very end. Noodles were crispy and good but the portion was laughably small. The small portions made the price not worth it

Had lunch at Casa Adela today and the food definitely delivered. If you’re craving authentic Puerto Rican food, this is a good spot. Just be prepared to wait. Part of that is because it’s a small restaurant and there was a wait for a table. But even after being seated, things moved pretty slowly and it took a while for the food to arrive. That said, my shrimp mofongo was excellent—authentic, packed with flavor, and well worth ordering. Overall, a very good meal. Just don’t come if you’re in a hu

We had a wonderful experience at Thompson Square Bagels in the East Village, and it’s definitely a place I’d be happy to return to. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a cozy, neighborhood feel that immediately puts you at ease. The service was friendly and relaxed, even though the place was quite busy when we arrived. There was a steady flow of customers, and while seating isn’t always guaranteed, the overall vibe remained pleasant and comfortable. 🙌🏻 Th

I had the shack stack and 10 piece k shack fried chicken bites. I do taste the beef flavor of the patty. Other wise the flavors are quite muted. The shack stack is still good due to the cheesy shroom. The people who work there are very energetic.

Delightful Mexican restaurant, very homey and welcoming vibe from the staff interactions to the decor/overall feel of the place. Large space so suitable for all group sizes. No wait even on a Saturday during brunch. Tasty dishes, highly recommend. We opted not to get drinks but everything we saw coming out looks good.. all the more reason to return during a happy hour!

So glad that there’s a good Chinese skewer place in the East Village now. Loved the skewers, get the lamb and beef ones, so flavorful and juicy. The spice mix they put on it really levels it up. Will come back again.

The customer service was poor from start to finish, with staff appearing uninterested and unhelpful. Simple requests were either ignored or handled with a lack of professionalism. On the positive side, the ambience was definitely good and the tiramisu was nice. However, the food was pretty average and the prices were high for what they were offering. Unfortunately, the overall experience left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated. There are many other places in the area that value their customers

Ordered the rigatoni with meatballs, marinara. Firm bite on the pasta, flavorful meatballs and sauce. Great food. The place is busy as hell on the weekends. It does seem to draw a youthful crowd. I loved the bustling noise in and outside. Vibes were good as a solo diner who likes to be visually stimulated. Staff were very kind. Walk in. Got the recommendation from a local, working at my hostel. Very affordable, and for the quality of food, I'd come back for sure.

This place is a vibe. Happy Hour is a must! Great music.Angie was great hostess. Green tea shots, mojitos are top tier

A coffee gem in this part of the East Village with a friendly owner Ioannis. He apologized as the floor was being redone but that didn't matter to me as I was there to have a taste of the coffee. Here the beans are roasted in a roastery. The aroma is like a heavenly perfume. I had my usual skim cappuccino and it was smooth and non acidic. When I told him that it was similar to Blue Bottle Coffee Ioannis was surprised and happy. Customers came in while I was drinking and it seemed like they are r

Amazing authentic Japanese eatery, all the food was cheap and tasty, our favorites were the pork belly yakitori and tonkatsu kimchi. We did try some delicious home made Japanese sodas peach was our favorite. Once we got the bill the waiter brought us 2 mini cups with flavored sugar. We did not what it was for so he told us there is a cotton candy machine outside where everyone can make their own desert. That was a cool touch. Best time to come is when they are opening at 5 if you don't want to w

One of the best bang for your buck eats out there in NYC. The veg platter comes with 3 falafel balls so we added 2 adding to make it 9 balls total, got sauces on side and extra pita bread to make it a full meal for 2 people all under $20. The platter comes with enough hummus, baba ganoush, tahini and salad to make atleast 3 full pita sandwiches on your own. Quick service, helpful staff that give you water when needed and more sauce if needed as well. Downside? Food here doesn’t look pretty. T

This was a cool first barcade experience! The vibes were great. The vintage games were super cool to try. The bar staff were really sweet and friendly. The restroom was cool and clean! Drinks were good, and especially appreciated the drink menus being offered when we landed at the bar. I loved playing some games that I've never been able to experience before. I'd love to visit again when back in NY.

This is a hidden gem in New York that is amazing and so delicious! You know the burger is gonna be good when you can see grease leaking through the wrapping! Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! I ordered a double cheeseburger with extra pickles and it was so good! If you are in New York you gotta check out 7th Street Burger’s!

Always wanted to check out this restaurant. Finally got in on this hot hot day. A Friday night, barely anyone out and about. Had the superiority burger and tofu fried tofu burger and fries. The superiority burger was a disappointment. It was just mushy. Everything about it was mushy. Maybe it’s the heat? The TFT burger on the other hand was outstanding! The flavor, texture, crispy, spicy, yummy. The fries were too salty. Not my taste. Overall good but I do not think it is worth the hype.

For me personally this was the best pizza I've tried so far in NYC. I liked the fact they had many vegetarian options. We went with veggie festa and Grandma peppina. Both of them were scrumptious. It's mentioned that the dough is well fermented and I could feel that it was light on the gut as well. Highly recommend trying pizza here!

Craving something fresh and delicious for lunch so I stopped by Balade. Upon arriving the staff was very attentive and made sure I got my seated with my menu and water within minutes. My waiter’s name was George. I ordered the chicken shawarma with a side of fries & he recommended I try their lemonade. This meal was so flavorful. I love their garlic butter. I will most definitely be back.

Pretty disappointed in the quality of the food after traveling all the way to Manhattan to try it. I ordered their very popular Chicken Caesar Wrap as well as a side of the Mac & Cheese. The mac & cheese was good but not worth returning back for. The biggest disappointment came from the chicken caesar wrap. After opening the wrap, I could see how poorly assembled it was. It’s almost like the person who prepared it didn’t even bother trying. There was little to no lettuce, way too much cheese o

It pains me to write this because I don't want there to be a crazy line next time I go (and I'll be going back VERY soon) haha, but WOW. 10/10 pizza! The spinach mushroom is in a league of it's own. It's so simple, yet so good. The mushrooms, the freshly grated cheese... all QUALITY ingredients. Perfect crust thickness. Non-greasy. I could go on. I also had the marg and it was great, and I'd get it again... but that spinach mushroom slice. Sheeshhh!

I recently visited Visit Sicily NYC and honestly had such a wonderful experience that I had to leave a review. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, authentic, and full of Sicilian charm. The colorful decor and pastry display immediately caught my attention and made the whole place feel like a little café in Italy hidden in the East Village. The food was outstanding. I tried their fresh sandwiches and pizza, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The bread was so

This is my first time eating at Cava. My meal was delicious. I took my daughter's suggestion and mixed the green sauce with the garlic sauce. It was delicious! 😋 I enjoyed it even more with the pita chips. It was delicious for a quick healthy dinner.

Such a great bang for your buck - AYCE and drink for $60! The menu is very salmon forward, especially the rolls. I know some people don’t like it but I like to switch up and get some galbi and beef wrapped enoki to avoid flavor fatigue. They actually have some really great specially pieces and dishes - you get 1 special app, 15 pieces of sashimi and 15 pieces of nigiri in the AYCE. I wouldn’t say the service is slow - you just have to keep a regular ordering pace on the iPad they leave with you

Really enjoyed my experience at Miss Lily’s 7a. I came here for the first time in 2018foir a birthday brunch and remember the food and drink being fantastic. Today (2026), I came again and was happy to see that not much had changed. Today I had the jerk chicken and the tamarind glazed plantain. My husband did the restaurant week deal with codfish fritters, jerk hash, and coconut cream cake. We also indulged in the boozy brunch deal for $25 bottomless drinks. The jerk chicken was really good, and

Yum! I came here to try the famous cardamom bun and some other pastries. The cardamom bun had a wonderful, chewy texture but I’m not sure if I liked the cardamom flavor. The ham & cheese croissant was amazing! So buttery, flaky, and flavorful. I also tried the seasonal tart (it was an apricot, tahini, and carrot cake tart this time), which was tasty but not really my cup of tea. Still would totally recommend this place for flavor, texture, and quality 👌

Miriam and lourdes we’re fantastic very helpful and taking out my bowl. I had a great experience.

Took a flyer and picked this place because it had good reviews, served steak, and wasn't a fancy schmancy place; basically, all my criteria. From the moment I walked in, I felt like family. Seriously. Everyone had worked there for years and years, and I think at some point I met each and every one of them. The owner came by to check in, but it wasn't intrusive at all... more like your Pops swinging by your table to see if ya need anything. I went solely for the beef, and got the grilled blood
